Next time you examine one of your cities and notice Unrest, then that means it probably has a spy. You can recruit your own spy to try to root out the other spy.

What is the best you have ever seen the AI do with Parthia or the Seleucid?

Having just started a short Parthia campaign, Armenia and Egypt decided to gang up on the Seleucid, as they do. Luckily for the Seleucians, this left the Armenian cities as easy kickstarters for my Parthian empire as their main army was down south.

Having removed this pressure from the Seleucid I started to wonder, what is the best you have ever seen the AI do with them or the Parthians for that matter?

Normally its a yellow and blue-greenish Pontus sea because auto-resolve loves chariots, but I wondered if anyone has ever seen the AI manage to make them work.

my last post before i stop playing the game for a long while, my life is a mess lol

In my rome campaign I just used anything and everything cuz I didn't know how to prepare an army

For my parthia campaign and sassanid campaign I just used horse archers

But

As my last and best campaign yet

I started using some decent army loadout

And instead of just ambushing or rushing

I'm using mixed columns

Like

This pic

3 line of spearmen(the alemani smpearmen or soooo goooodddd) with gaps between for shock troop respons and archer retreat

Axe men at both ends for heavy infantry respons

4 tight spearmen just in case

And 4 line of archers cuz of long range and good damage

1 line of heavy infantry in the tip to absorb the shock and damage

And a dog and a light cav just in case

And one(two in this pic) generals for chasing or flanking

These Greeks are just endless I keep on killing 500-1,200 Greek armies and they still don't know how to stop

I'm playing Rome remastered for the first time as the Julii and.. it's not fun. The AI is just too much man, like I had a ceasefire with Britannia, only for them to go to war with me 4 turns later. Then I get jumped by Spain IMMEDIATLY after they cancel our trade rights. Battles were fine, but siegeing and fighting sieges every other turn is just annoying. Lugdunum was probably besieged 30 times at this point.

I just had enough of it I deleted all my saves (I was at turn 50 ish) and stopped playing for a few days. What am I doing wrong? I really want to get into this game, but so far my experience was.. not enjoyable.
